FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter use?
It is designed as a waterproof shell. While it offers wind protection, it is not insulated, so you will need to layer fleece or thermal clothing underneath for colder temperatures.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may want to consider sizing up, otherwise, choose your standard jacket size.
Can I use this for hiking?
Yes, it is suitable for light to moderate hiking, though it is primarily designed for urban environments and daily commutes.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure a continuous waterproof seal around the neck and head.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cool water using a technical detergent. Avoid bleach and softeners, and tumble dry on low heat.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical garment cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate the finish.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Check if your base layers are trapping too much moisture, or ensure the vents/zippers are fully closed. If the jacket is dirty, wash it to restore breathability.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove grit or debris. Apply a light amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper care is essential to maintain its water-repellent properties. Always wash the jacket in cool water with a mild technical cleaner, avoiding fabric softeners which can clog the membrane's pores. To reactivate the exterior Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating, tumble dry the jacket on low heat periodically, as the heat helps redistribute the coating. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage. When storing, hang the jacket in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the synthetic material.
